Re: Dusty asked for an extension...

I really do hope that if he isn't fired this season, he's not asked back for next season. I like that the players respect him but he's just not the right man for the job. I don't think he really knows how to manage such a young team.

The only problem is, I have no faith in The Reds to replace him with anyone better or even as good, sadly. Big Bob seems more concerned about signing a big name than he is about credentials and I really don't know how I feel about Jocketty's decision making yet.

Re: Dusty asked for an extension...

i mean it makes no sense, what kind of manager goes their boss and asks for an extension? especially when you havent done very well at your job. i mean i wonder if walt and bob just looked at each other dumbfounded after dusty left the office.

So we shall see.

I really hope that if he isn't fired this season than he is asked to come back. Here's why: i would hope that if he is not fired that means we put it together soon and start playing like a playoff contender, and get up around 85+ wins.
If that happens than its gonna be hard for us to find someone who could likely do better. My reasoning is all about us winning and not about Dusty.

Re: Dusty asked for an extension...

From what I read in tORG I think the response was more like "we aren't going to discuss it at this time." Not so much a flat out no but probably more of a why in the world would you bring up an extension when our team is playing like crap for the first 20 games kinda response.
